A former Executive Chairman of the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC), Dr. Sam Amadi, has declined the offer to serve as the Director of Research for the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Presidential Campaign Council.
Sam
Amadi expressed his rejection in a letter he conveyed to Governor Aminu
Tambuwal of Sokoto State, who doubles as the Director General of the campaign
council, explaining that he is non-partisan and that his rejection of the
appointment is not a vote of no confidence on PDP.
In
a statement he issued, Amadi explained that such an appointment would lead to a
conflict of interest and cannot participate in such a role, therefore his
desire to humbly decline the appointment and hereby abstain from participating
in such a role.
He
says, “The decision to decline the offer has stemmed from the conflicts of
interest emanating from various responsibilities in which I act as a leader of
different platforms where political neutrality and objectivity are required of
me and for some years, I have been an analyst on Arise News, which I consider
one of the most strategic institutions for national development and sane
deliberative democracy through analytical news reporting.
“Therefore,
my role in that reputable media platform also requires non-partisanship, even
as I am free to express my opinions.”
